While the trial for W. j. Shannon for
stealing 81 valise was in progress be-
fore Judge Cory in the police court yes
terday morning, Hal Reid ambled in
accompanied by deputy sheriff. There
was nothing in the smiling poetaster's
manner to indicate that he was under
the ban of the infamous charge OF rape.
The only conspicuous thing about him
was the high, white standing collar,
which reached up and almost concealed
the pretty dimpleS in his cheeks. 1t
did not conceal his smile, however, and
the smile seemed to have grown broader
since Thursday. He had not changed
his shirt, but wore the same begrimed,
striped black and white article, which
he had ON upon his return. The dirty
cuffs were tucked carefully away under
the sleeves of his blue cutaway coat,
which was buttoned tight around
his manly breast. He carried
the high silk hat with the
wide band of mourning about
the same way the hero in meiodrama
would carry it, and his waXed blonde
mustache and cow-licked hair made the
effect complete. The affectation in
manners derived on the cheap stage is
evident in every move he makes. He
entered the bull pen" and sat on a box
for some time before his case was
reached. Then his attorney, ex-Mayor
O'Brien, came in. County Attorney
Egan and MIR. O'Brien consulted mo-
ment, and Clerk Ahern called HAL
Reid" The owner of that name left his
seat and came forward with step as
light as a school boy at picnic.
DO you charge him with assault with in
tent to commit rapeg" asked MI. O'Brien.
And County Attorney Egan replied:
mo, sir; we charge him with committing
rape-the full crime
HIS FATHER WAS THERE.
During this little cOlloquy the prison
hind his son. His features were stern
and he looked very much depressed
much in contrast to the appearance of
Hal. The complaint was then pro-
duced and Attorney O'Brien scanned it
carefully. The complaint is sworn to
by Edith Williams, sister of Maud
CunSton. She charges that On the sec
ond day of September Hal Reid forcibly
rayiShed, and casually knew and had
sexual intercourse wi h Maud CunstOn.
County Attorney Egan: "Your honor, am
hot very lGInlliaT WIN the case, anu II Will
be impossible for me to go on to-day. i am
also Informed from the newspapers that
Miss Cunston is not yet able to appear"
You have the sworn complaint" said Mr..
O'Brien.
'sYes, havethe complaint
"Then, youi honor, move that the defend
ant be admitted to ball. said the ex-mayor.
County Attorney Egan: Il don't know
whether this is bailable case or not until he
makes Il pleading
Attorney 0'Brien said he thought it
was. Judge Corey delved into the
statutes for few moments and then
decided that it WAS for the district court
to fix bail on cases where the penalties
are so severe. After some further par
ley the attorneys agreed, and the judge
continued the preliminary examination
to Sept. II, at a. m.
Reid walked out of the court room ac-
companied by his father and the deputy
sheriff. At the corner of Fifth and
WabaSha streets, the elder Reid stopped
at fruit stand and purchased paper
bag full of fruit, which he carried after
his erring son, and left in the jail.
At O'Clock i'll the afternoon, Judge
Kelly called special term of the Dis
trict court in his chambers at the court
house. DR.. Reid was there with
CounSelors O'Brien and Hart of
the defense and County Attorney
Fgan. Mr.. O'Brlen moved that Reid be
admitted to bail. Judge Kelly looked
over the complaint, and heard brief
statements of the case from the county
attorney and Mr.. O'Brien, and adjusting
his eyeglasses studied the statutes a
few minutes. Then he shut the book,
dropped his glasses and said: ''This is
serious charge. | will fix the bail at
$1,000" DIR. Reid thanked him and
went out. The bond will not be exc
cuted until Monday morning and until
then Hal will remain in his present
quarters. DR.. Reid and Attorney Hart
spent an hour in consultation with him,
and left at o'clock for Minneapolis
again. Dir. Reid will be the first signer
of the bond, the law requiring two sure
ties. LII is Ia SecIrn the other hnndSman
